over 1300 cts of fluorite from Afgan, USA, Colombia

I really liked this piece. 40ct demantoid garnets (original mine). 330 garnets and 472 diamonds. To me this piece Sparkled the most out of all of them.

Butterflies. All sorts of stones. Rubies, sapphires, diamonds, opals etc.

one last try at this imperal topaz...not sure why it wont stick. look next post

 

[Icce]

Very large stones. they both look less dark in real life. Kinda go ugly in the camera

 

[Icce]

second stone is the bigger one.

 

[Icce]

Its from the ROM. Museum in Ontario. Its hard to picture the sizes but many were pretty large. Many over 100cts etc. There was also thousands of not faceted rocks/roughs and meteors. I have a few pictures of shinny rocks that are all cleaned up but not faceted for gems...more collector style. I will post them tommorrow or on the weekend as I am tired of posting now lol.

Add in name after

Is this a Munsteiner piece? Love it!

Not sure. They are part of Micheal Scotts collection. The stones above it are different colours of beryl so I think its the same stone but the designer of it I dont know.

I''d gladly say something smart now, but I''m still kind of...in shock

P. S. Thanks for an amazing thread that reminded me why I fell for gems in the first place; pure magic!

Thank you Icce for all the trouble of photographing and downloading it here. This is extreme eye candy. I can look at these all day long. There are so many lovely pieces that I can’t choose a favourite.

 

[Harriet]

Oh wow! Thanks. You''re a fantastic photographer too.

 

[brandy_z28]

Oh, my, goodness...

They were all so gorgeous and HUGE!
